Something magical has happened. I baked these sweet treats from scratch and they weren’t a complete disaster taste truly fabulous. These are my sweet take on the old parmesan twists. I experimented with a few flavours but I think the possibilities are endless? I think?

Harry was positively thrilled with being able to taste test these. I think they’re perfect for preschoolers and primary school aged children.
